I had trouble finding emotion, I found it, I had trouble showing emotion, I showed it, I have trouble finding the words I know them and Carmen there couldnt be anyone else, I love you.

Carmen didnt know whether to laugh or cry. She flung her arms around Shanes neck

You are crazy… She smiled
Ive never met someone so unpredictable in all my life.
Shane kissed her forehead
Thats why you love me right?
Carmen pushed her face close to Shanes until their noses touched.
I love everything about you.
Shane smirked in the way that had captured so many girls hearts.
And thats why you want to marry me, right?
Carmen smiled at the tall, scrawny woman holding onto her for deal life
Shane…
She whispered softly into her ear

Shane looked into Carmens eyes

Yeah she whispered
Carmen kissed Shanes nose and stared are her deeply
You have to take me on a date first.

Shane looked at her and grinned, but then down to the floor. Are you turning me down?
She asked, sounding a tone or two more high pitched that her usual deep voice.

Im making you wait.
Carmen looked at Shane,
If you really love me, youll wait. I waited for you.
Shane swallowed hard
Im not sure if Im supposed to feel disappointed or happy.

Baby one step at a time.
Carmen took Shanes hand in her own and squeezed it
Can you return that…?
She pointed towards the ring still sitting on her bed.

Shane looked at her almost heartbroken
If you would prefer she managed.

Carmen shook her head and placed her arms around Shanes neck, grasping the clasp of Shanes necklace in her hand she click it open and removed the black string necklace. She picked up the ring and slid it over the clasps letting it fall down to the middle of the necklace. Then she leaned up to Shane and re-fitted her with her necklace.

Im not going anywhere… She smiled

That ring was made for me, lets just wait until were both ready.
Shane forced a smile
I guess I never thought you would turn me down and Id still get a date out of it, does this mean I have to refer to you as my girlfriend?
Carmen let out a pretend gasp and covered her mouth with her hand
Is that to much? she giggled
Shane shook her head
I guess it sounds cooler than wife. But um I guess I have to go to work now. Are you busy later?
Where are you taking me? Carmen replied

Its a surprise Shane winked as she turned and headed towards the door.
Shane!
Carmen called after her. Shane turned so she could see Carmen out of the corner of her eye.
Nothing, too unpredictable please

Shane grinned to herself and waved at Carmen who was laying her bed in a daydream.

As she approached her truck Shane shook her head. Looking up to the sky and then back to Carmens house she nodded her head, Yup, I got it bad”
